Hey there - nice to meet you!

Southern Pine Interiors is a full service interior design firm based in The Woodlands, Texas.

Our firm was established from a mutual love and passion for design, shared between four close friends. With combined southern roots, our design consists of mixing old with new to create unique spaces that have a collected look. Inspired by color, texture, and pattern, our goal is for each designed space to incorporate elements of nature indoors.

We love working with our clients to create timeless, beautiful, and functional spaces that reflect the families we serve.
